Applejack's Diary

Chap 35-1/3

Dear Diary

When Elusive and me were done tucking Alex in, Bea joined us walking back to the farm. She went and insulted me as surely as slapping my face. She had the gall to ask where there was a hotel or inn in town. I asked that silly filly why she needed that. Didn’t she have a place to stay the night? Well, she said that in the excitement, she forgot to ask Alex about that place he had arranged for her. No address, no key, and no roof over her head for the night. Why, I told her, again, anypony who takes care of the Apple family the way she had is part of the family.

Mac spoke up, saying it was also the neighbourly thing to do. I suspect my dear big brother, the pony one, has his eye on a certain show pony. After it was settled I could see Mac had a mighty big smile. Is he sweet on her? I always thought it would be him and Fluttershy in the end. I’ll have to make sure Bea’ll treat my brother right. The pony one. Heh, that never gets old.

So, while we were sitting at the kitchen table, winding down from a crazy night with some hot apple cider, Bea said she reckons we need to tell Dash about Alex. In fact, we should probably tell all the ponies who are near him so we can all help him out. But she also warned us that he can’t know that we know. Not yet anyhow.

Happy I have more family to love
